Over years of the freeze/thaw cycle any imperfections in the foundation fill with water and then when it freezes the ice expands further weakening the imperfection until a crack forms. 

Specifically in Trend MLS, how long can a property remain "temporarily off market"?

Also found out that water bill is paid by landlord and it was HIGH, which would weaken this deal had I factor that in my sheet earlier...if they accept our offer, we are going to do a walk through, then inspections.Questions: What should we pay attention to at this stage and during walk through?

Hey guys, I just tried to email my buyers list and gmail shut down my account temporarily for spamming.

I recently relocated to Miami, FL (temporarily, my husband is completing a 12 month assignment here) and I'm looking for great cash flow neighborhoods in Miami-Dade County.

If your scenario worked where you were using the HELOC temporarily and paying it back in between deals, then it would make sense to consider it even if you are moving in several years.  

Hey everyone,I just temporarily relocated back to Florida to scout real estate in person.

Traditional policies rarely cover you for loss of income and/or temporarily housing a tenant in the event they can no longer stay at the property (ie: if you have to put them in temp housing due to a fire.)

However, there is a possibility we could move to my father's house temporarily for minimal rent too, which may give us more options.In my searches on Trulia (there may be better resources out there, just not sure which) I've been looking in the San Fernando Valley for SFR & MFR, but really all it turns up are Foreclosures & REOs.

And worse, it weakens your negotiating power.Didn't Negotiate Repairs Well:  One of my two offers was for full price (well, after it was $250k).
